From Video Dates to Zoom Meetings: 5 Makeup Looks That Are Perfect for Virtual Occasions

In the day and age of virtual meetings and video dates, it is important to look well-groomed on camera. Whether you're gearing up for your next Zoom meeting, chatting with your friends on a video call, or even attending a virtual date, the right kind of makeup can make sure you stand out from a crowd. Here is how you can get the look with some versatile makeup look ahead of you and some picks from Charmacy Milano.

The Fresh-Faced Glow

Fresh-Faced Glow is a dewy and glowing makeup look. This makeup approach is fresher in terms of moisture in the skin and simplicity in elegance, and it will take you alongside any place where you attend a virtual meeting at work, and even video calls during casual times. Begin with a lightweight and hydrating matte foundation for a radiant finish but with no mask effect. Popping a bit of highlighter on the top of the cheekbones, the brow bones, and down the bridge of the nose gives a soft glow that reflects beautifully under the lights of the camera.

Match this with a soft, peachy best blush to add color to the cheeks and then use a clear brow gel to add texture with not too much added definition for the brows. Subtle shade from eyeshadow palette according to your skin tone and a coat of mascara will make your eyes look great without a loaded look. For lips, use a tinted lip balm or a nude lipstick for a fresh, polished look that's effortlessly chic.

The Classic Power Look

The Classic Power Look is for when you truly need to ooze confidence and professionalism. With that in mind, let's go into this makeup look with an impeccable base having a matte finish to look perfect and poised on that screen. Start off with a mattifying face primer so as to set up a totally smooth canvas. A full-coverage face foundation that leaves a uniform complexion is demanded and a setting powder to mattify so as to control shine and keep makeup in its place.

Complete the eye makeup with a classic winged eyeliner to define your eyes. Add a sophisticated character by choosing a neutral eyeshadow palette in colors of taupe, beige, and brown. To bring out the eyes without going over the board, add volumizing mascara. Wear a classic red lipstick on the lips, as a power statement and definitely is that one pop of color that catches the eye when on camera.

The Bold and Beautiful

 If you feel confident enough to make a statement, go for 'The Bold and the Beautiful'. This makeup look speaks of very loud colors and catching attributes, the perfect look for a virtual date or just an evening you want to shine in a crowd. Start off with that sheer, glowy liquid foundation as a base, and a touch of highlighter to keep the skin looking fresh and lively. How about pulling a bold color for your eyeshadow, say electric blue, deep emerald green, or even a rich plum, and matching that color for an eyeliner.

Define your brows with a eyebrow pencil or gel to make sure they stand out and frame your visage well. Pop on a few coats of mascara and you're all done up nice and well, a bold nude lipstick in contrast to the bold eyeshadow. This look serves to be as bold and confident as you can be. Therefore, you should never be afraid of popping some great colors and contrasts.

The Romantic Glow

For a very pretty and romantic look that would be apt for an online date or just a casual one, the Romantic Glow makeup look is the perfect direction for this. The style is soft, feminine, and flushed. Begin with a moisturizing liquid foundation that provides your skin with a dewy appearance. Pink blush the apples of your cheeks or peach to leave you looking radiant and youthful.

Use a warm neutral eyeshadow palette with hints of pink and touches of gold for a soft, shimmering look. Line along the upper lash line very lightly, define the eyes with a touch of mascara just for added definition and not overtaking the look. 

The Minimalist Look

If you are in for something simple yet pretty, then you can opt for The Minimalist Look. This makeup look is all about clean lines, understated enhancements, and a polished finish. Start with a light liquid foundation base and touch up any blemishes or discolorations with a concealer if you need to. Set your base with a hint of translucent powder that keeps your face looking fresh and shine-free.

Simple eye makeup, a light beige from your eyeshadow palette washed over the lid, a thin line of your best eyeliner, and a few fanned mascara coats to thicken your lashes will do the trick. Keep your brows natural but well tamed with an eyebrow pencil or gel. Finish off with a nude lipstick or soft mauve lipstick for that classy, yet understated look. 

Each of these make-up looks created by using  Charmacy Milano’s range of products is perfect in every online scenario. These will help create a strong statement, or a refined professional look.
